Shane and I had gotten up about thirty minutes ago and Shane insists on that we have breakfast before we open our presents. So we made our way into the kitchen and Shane started making coffee, the only thing Shane CAN make, while I made eggs. Shane's coffee was done before my eggs. So Shane got out one mug and put some coffee in it and set it down on our table. Then he got out another mug and made me some hot chocolate. When he was done he set the mug down next to his mug. I got out two plates and put the eggs and some bacon on each plate. Shane took the plates from me and set them on the table. When Shane came back I had put the pan in the sink. He took my hand and kissed my lips as we sat down and ate. We finished breakfast and went over to our Christmas tree.
"You want to open your gifts first?" Shane asked.
"Sure."
He handed me a small box wrapped in light blue paper with a pink bow on top. I smiled and took the bow and wrapping paper off and opened the small rectangular box. I saw a chain hang across the box. In the middle of the chain was a heart. I opened the heart when Shane told me to and I saw a picture of me on the right side as a baby and Shane, on the left side, as a baby. I awed. His gifts were always so much better then mine. Then Shane handed me a big rectangular box. I opened it inside were two scrapbooks. I opened the first one. It was titled 'Smitchie Love'. I laughed at the title. I opened the book and saw pages and pages of me and Shane. From prom. From our wedding. From camp. From our first date. From his proposal. Wait our proposal? He proposed to me in secret?
"How did you get pictures of the proposal?"
"I had Nate and Cait follow us and take pictures."
I nodded.
I grabbed the second book. Without looking at the cover and opened it. It was empty. I looked up at Shane confused.
"Look at the cover," He said as he laughed.
I did.
Our first baby.
The three words made me smile. Yet another box was put in my lap. I started at Shane.
"Open it."
I did so.
A dress was in the square box a pink dress. Then under the dress were light blue converse.
"I think you can wear you dress with your converse," Shane said when I looked at him funny making fun of my song "La La Land."
"HA HA."
I threw him my cd that I made him which was wrapped in paper with snowmen on it. I had it 'dressed up' to make it look like a authentic cd that was made, recorded and, produced by professionals. The professionals? Me. Haha. He looked up at me and I shrugged. Before he opened it he looked at the front which had a picture of me on it that said don't for get don't forget Mitchie Torres don't forget don't forget. He flipped to the back which also had a picture of me on it along with all the songs.
This is me
Who will I be?
Anywhere but here
La La Land
Don't forget
Gonna get caught
Two worlds collide
Lullaby for a Stormy Night
Believe in me
On the Line
Until you're mine
Get Back
Cinderella
When you Look Me In The Eyes
Shane looked at me for a second.
"That's my song," He said indicating When You Look Me In The Eyes.
"But me singing."
He got up and left for a second and came back out with a cd player he put the cd in and hit number eight. The lyrics rang in the room.
little child, be not
afraid
though rain pounds harshly against the glass
like an
unwanted stranger, there is no danger
I am here tonight
little child, be not
afraid
though thunder explodes and lightning flash
illuminates
your tear-stained face
I am here tonight
and someday you'll
know
that nature is so
the same rain that draws you near
me
falls on rivers and land
on forests and sand
makes the
beautiful world that you'll see
in the morning
little child, be not
afraid
though storm clouds mask your beloved moon
and its
candlelight beams, still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonight
little child, be not
afraid
though wind makes creatures of our trees
and their
branches to hands, they're not real, understand
and I am here
tonight
for
you know, once even I was a
little child, and I was afraid
but
a gentle someone always came
to dry all my tears,
trade sweet sleep for fears
and to give a kiss
goodnight
well
now I am grown
and these years have shown
that rain's a part of
how life
goes
but it's dark and it's late
so I'll hold you and wait
'til
your frightened eyes do close
and I hope that you'll know...
everything's fine in the
morning
the rain'll be gone in the morning
but I'll still be
here in the morning
The song closed to an end.
"That's the lullaby you'll sing to our first child," Shane whispered.
I kissed Shane lightly. He was right I was going to sing that lullaby to my baby someday.
I gave Shane another present. I was a small square box. He opened it and found a brown leather watch. I special watch. I guess we were both in on the little smitchie theme this year. In the middle of the watch behind the hands was one word. Smitchie. He laughed and gave me a kiss. He had one more gift to come. He opened a box that held a couple of new shirts for him along with a tie that had guitars on it and a tie that hand grand pianos on it and a tie that hid microphones on it. He seemed to like his gifts. But once he realized we had finished opening presents his smile turned into a frown.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"You have to leave now."
"SO do you," I reminded him.
He sighed.
We got up and put our gifts away. Shane packed his clothes that I had got him and his cd and watch. I packed my new pair of converse and dress into my already packed bags. I tried to slide my new locket on my neck but was having troubles. Shane came over as I grabbed my hair he put it on for me. I turned around and kissed him.
"Let's go superstar."
He sighed and grabbed our suitcases and put them in the car. We drove off to the airport. Soon the person over the intercom said, "Flight 14 boarding. Flight 14 boarding."
Shane sighed AGAIN.
"That' s me," I said as I stood up and kissed him and too soon he was out of sight and I was on the airplane.
Okay you guys tell me what you thought. Anywhere but here was by Hilary Duff. Cinderella was by Steven Curtis Chapman. And the lullaby for a stormy night was by Vienna Teng.
